It’s my latte

The Spokesman-Review

I am so tired of hearing a proponent trying to sell a tax increase by couching the cost to taxpayers in terms of coffee. If the author really does think that the extra cost of one latte per year is so absolutely not a big deal, then let him/her (and the ilk) pay for my lost latte.

It is my one latte per year and it is my hard-earned money that pays for that latte, and you want to take it, for what? For more “equipment” like what was purchased when voters originally fell for the “latte” argument back in 2004?
